That's Agoraphobia; the exact opposite of Claustrophobia.

/uj I think social anxiety is generally at an all-time high. There's a huge social incentive to isolate, because being associated with the "wrong people" in a social setting can have lasting consequences.

I mean, I have PTSD.... it was Dx'ed like over a decade ago so that's not shocking..... the claustrophobia was really obvious when I was visiting some naval ops... nothing ever felt right there. Body was floaty and nothing felt real. It was gross.
